CESSNA AT-17 UC-78 CRANE (AT-8 T-50)

$9.95

Title: Cessna AT-17 Crane No’s 1 and 2

Originally designed as a civil aircraft the Cessna T-50 twin first flew in 1939. A Canadian requirement for a twin-engined training aircraft saw an order for 550 Cessna “Crane”. The USAAF took an initial order of 50 as AT-8’s. Further orders resulted for light personnel transports and liaison aircraft under the AT-17 designation, and including the JRC-1 for the US Navy. When production ended in 1943 over 5,400 aircraft had been produced.

We offer two titles for the Cessna Crane series. The first title contains the flight manual and the maintenance manual for the AT-17, and the second title contains the flight manual for the AT-8 and the maintenance manual for the civil T-50. The files have been scanned from the original manuals and retain any colour pages. Each title is US$9.95.
